Keeping a Technistone surface looking marvellous for years is very simple, all it needs is to quickly clean off the spills when it happens and to also regularly clean it with warm water and a normal household detergent. At all times a quick rinsing with water and a wiping with a dry cloth will be all that is required to bring back the surface to its original shine.

Since it is extremely stain resistant, bleach is generally not needed when cleaning the surface. However, if it has to be used, then it should be properly rinsed after to avoid dulling the surface. It does not require polishing as the already polished surface will remain so for many years for as long as basic cleaning routine is followed.

Technistone though being extremely heat resistant needs to be prevented from being accidentally damaged by heat from baking trays and hot pots, by using a heat mat or trivet on it before placing pots or baking trays on top of it.
